Rob - allright already! I'll follow you. There is nothing so exiting going on in my neck of the woods, but the sun is shining and the oaks are getting green and the grass grown so fast one can see it get tall. I am trying to teach garden manners to Gussie, not doing too well so far, she is still shy enough that she just goes to lay on the deck if she realizes shes been (gently) corrected. No matter, compared to the way she was, she's a happy dog. There is a lot of construction going on in the hills behind me, so many people are building on property they own, but had not developed for years. I think it's the new solar technology that has been a big incentive, as that area is off the grid and solar is much more available and easier to set up and maintain. Street people in town, may street people, mostly young, schlepping back-packs and accompanied by a dog. There was a group in town, sitting inside the large roped off square in the middle of town, one was playing a guitar and they actually had a small camp-fire going, I am sure eventually that fire was discouraged by someone in authority. Generally they are tolerated, as long as they don't panhandle aggressively. I am off to do some more weeding, planting and mulching, another month and all I have to do - I hope - is deadheading and watering and sitting under the grape arbor, sipping iced tea and enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Lovely seedlings, your camera is great. I would love to get an SLR, just can't convince myself to spend the money to take pictures of my daylilies :)

Thanks for the tips. Last night, I went to the App Store and spotted. a 5 star freebie so tryng it and so far so good! It does require some set up but the directions work notes the copy link, go to WiFi and paste and then go back to the app to verify n I think it is called Adblockerapp. If this doesn't work - I will try the $2.00 WebBlocker I still have to load to my phone. Home pro - thanks OldBat who is not old and has a gorgeous kitchen and wonderful family) - glad you enjoyed the card and thanks for the link m
